Summary

Introduction

I am a contemporary classical music composer interested in developing new technologies to aid musical creativity and harness the role of music in social development. This paper introduces one of ICCMR’s most successful projects to date, which demonstrates the social impact of Music Neurotechnology research: the brain-computer music interfacing (BCMI) project. This project is aimed at the development of assistive music technology to enable people with severe physical disabilities to make music controlled with brain signals. In addition to building the technology, I am interested in developing approaches to compose music with it and creating new kinds of contemporary music
